the extreme. Ga Saturday, as previously an

There is much talk among the colored
laborers of Charles county, and especially OF
this neignborhood, OF emigraing to Wisconsin,
there TO engage in quarry work aud blasting
rock. Agents of Western companies have been
among them, and hy Offering one dollar and II
half per daj have succeeded in getting quite
colony, W no are remaining z reSlesSy idle about
the public places, daily awaiting the arrival OF
the agent who is to direct them on their W est
ern journey and to provide the money with
W. hich their passage is to be paid. The pay OF
the colored farm laborers in this section OF the
State does not generally go above h'h aud
seventy five cents dav, and the prospe' t OF
getting so much higher wages is Supposed to be
the prIncipal induce ement for leaving lhere
is a decided tendency among the farmers 10
work less land and cultivate fruits ani grass
instead Of tobacco, which year by year brings
them less money. This lessons the demasd tor
col !ored labor, and should the change from to-
hacco and wheat prove successful, there Will he
an almost complete changc OF labor IN this
community before the lapse of many years. The
fact of the colored people leaving Is not recent
or sudden, but has been gradually goInz on
for the past six or eight years, mostly TO Wash
ingtan and many 10 Pennsylvania. As an
evidence OF this, up t. 1885 the coiored regis
tered voters were ways In excess, but IN that
year the whites had few more while Ia 1886
the W hites outnumbered the colored by 10. 81

they were taken on all aloag the line of the

the following in the same letter ~hch We think
worthy Of the consider tion of our farmers
here: The natural opportunities Of hay rails
ing are also unexcelled probably by any section
Of the State. The uncultiv condition Of

stead of lucrative revenue. supon the grass
supply the succt ssful rearing Of stock and the
profits of the dairy principally depend, This un
developed resource Of The lower countics OF the
State rises to great importance. Mach profit
= so might be derived from the rearing OF osiers
in low lands not convenient for the harvesting
of hay, and here are hundreds of farms here
which ,.e the desirable conditions for The pro.
